Four months later, on November 29, 1652, John Taylor and Tobias Horton were formally granted patents for adjoining tracts on Fleets Bay. John Taylor was given a patent for 400 acres for transporting eight persons, probably by paying for their passage (op. cit., p. 263).
The names of those he brought to Virginia were: John Haye, David Williams, James Richards, William Thomas, John Harris, William Lanett, James Willett and James Hancocke. Tobias Horton received a patent that same day for 500 acres for transporting ten persons (Ibid.).

Tobias Horton was a wealthy planter, surveyor and businessman born circa 1600. (6) Horton may have been transported to America as early as May 28th 1638 by Sarah Cloyden, widow, who claimed Headright land on Virginia's Isle of Weight County. He owned large tracts of land in Lancaster called "Wetherby's Land" located on Corotoman and Haddaway Creeks. Haddaway Creek was named after Rowland Haddaway, who explored the area in January 1659 along with Thomas Gaskin Abraham Moore, discovering a number of Indian cabins on the land. Tobias also owned land on the banks of Fleets Bay around Corotoman Creek.
The Indian town of Wiccomoco was located on the southside of Corotoman. Horton bought 1,400 acres from Francis Morrison, which was originally owned by John Taylor I. The name of Horton's first wife is unknown but in 1652 he married Elizabeth Taylor, widow of John Taylor, with whom he founded a dynasty.
On October 10th 1654 Tobias and Elizabeth hired Hugh Brent and Teague Floyne to make an inventory of the late John Taylor's estate. It included '3 old Bibles and 70 other books' and they valued his estate as £9,590 of tobacco. On July 1, 1659 Tobias Horton paid John Taylor's debt, £6,173.
On November 12th 1662, Teague Carrell bound himself to Horton to pay £8,000 of tobacco at £1,500 a year, for which Tobias sold him 100 acres of land between Tabbs and Nutypoyson Creeks. Elizabeth, wife of Tobias, asked her son-in-law Uriah Angell to acknowledge the sale. They clearly had a benevolent streak for, at the Lancaster County court on May 15th 1663, Elizabeth requested that cattle which belonged to John Taylor be given to his orphans. Tobias Horton died circa 1668, leaving four sons and three daughters.

Haddaway Creek was named after Rowland Haddaway, who explored the area in January 1659 along with Thomas Gaskin Abraham Moore, discovering a number of Indian cabins on the land. Tobias also owned land on the banks of Fleets Bay around Corotoman Creek.
The Indian town of Wiccomoco was located on the southside of Corotoman. Horton bought 1,400 acres from Francis Morrison, which was originally owned by John Taylor I. The name of Horton's first wife is unknown but in 1652 he married Elizabeth Taylor, widow of John Taylor, with whom he founded a dynasty.
On October 10th 1654 Tobias and Elizabeth hired Hugh Brent and Teague Floyne to make an inventory of the late John Taylor's estate. It included '3 old Bibles and 70 other books' and they valued his estate as £9,590 of tobacco. On July 1, 1659 Tobias Horton paid John Taylor's debt, £6,173.
On November 12th 1662, Teague Carrell bound himself to Horton to pay £8,000 of tobacco at £1,500 a year, for which Tobias sold him 100 acres of land between Tabbs and Nutypoyson Creeks. Elizabeth, wife of Tobias, asked her son-in-law Uriah Angell to acknowledge the sale. They clearly had a benevolent streak for, at the Lancaster County court on May 15th 1663, Elizabeth requested that cattle which belonged to John Taylor be given to his orphans. Tobias Horton died circa 1668, leaving four sons and three daughters.
